Ready-made samples one click, then print

A fresh maze every click

Every maze here is generated on the spot, so the one you print has never existed before. The generator uses a depth-first "recursive backtracker", which carves long, winding corridors with plenty of dead ends. Every cell of the maze is reachable, and there is exactly one route from start to finish. That matters for children: no shortcuts, no loops, and the solution page is the only answer.

Five sizes cover most ages. Kids mazes have seven wide columns with thick walls, easy for crayons and small hands. Easy and Medium suit most elementary-age children. Hard and Expert fill the page with tight corridors that take adults a satisfying few minutes.

Make it fit your theme

Change the title and the start and finish labels to tell a tiny story: "Help the bee reach the flower", "Get the rocket home", "From the bus stop to the classroom". It takes ten seconds and turns a generic maze into one that matches your lesson, party or holiday.

Printing and solutions

Mazes are drawn as crisp vector lines that stay sharp on any printer. The solution page shades the one correct path in light grey, so a child can check their work without the answer being too obvious from across the room. Choose US Letter or A4 above the preview, and the maze resizes to fill the page.
